(Spoiler) The Iranian director was carrying the ban of "no filming for 20 years" and was imprisoned at any time, but he did not give in. This "Taxi in Iran" (TAXI) is his third violation work. In the first two episodes, he hid in the house to shoot, but in this episode, he went out " openly " and completed the whole scene in the car without any cold scenes! The taxi is a mini-transformation of its predecessor's home, which can be moved, but it has gained a larger space to record the society. "Is this true?" Viewers may wonder whether "Yi" is a documentary or a fictional work of " nothingness ". The third passenger gave a hint - he recognized the real driver: "You are Jafar Panahi!"
Banashi likes to play between the documentary and the fictional, making films about cinema, which puts the "interaction of art and reality" in front of the audience. In the first paragraph, Banash seemed to be just improvising, using the built-in camcorder to record improvisationally to see what passengers brought in some " trivial " stories. But later the passengers entered and appeared, and the scheduling was sloppy; the structure of the script seemed to be loose and tight, showing the craftsman's thoughts. Power and morality, male and female, virtual and real, rich and poor... These tensions spread among different "passengers", sometimes confronting them directly, and sometimes appearing in separate positions. For example, his rich friend was robbed but cared about the poor family of the gangster, compared to the passenger who was a thief but thought the prisoner should be hanged; the director's wife had to do her homework for the filming, and the school stipulated that there should be no "good people with collars" (the rich friend is It was made by wearing a collar), and "Reality without the dark side of reality" must also be filmed. She filmed the scene where the poor boy was picking up money on the street, and asked the boy to perform a scene of "not picking up things on the road" for her to meet the requirements. In such an environment, how much truth can a typical documentary show? The director turned the struggle between true and false into questions that cannot be easily answered, and threw them to the audience along with the above-mentioned controversy of "there must be a problem " - there is nothing more real than the question consciousness of "is this true".
